Rugby:Leinster will host their RaboDirect PRO12 semi-final against the league's fourth placed side at the RDS on Saturday May 12th (7.35pm), it has been confirmed.

Second-placed Ospreys will welcome the third-placed side to Swansea's Liberty Stadium the evening beforehand. As it stands, Munster, who cannot finish outside the top four after a draw with Scarlets at the weekend, will travel to Wales to face a side they have lost to twice already this season.

Glasgow Warriors, therefore, look set to face Leinster in Dublin, but they could yet be ousted by either Llanelli Scarlets or Ulster, if final round results dictate on May 5th.

Leinster, meanwhile, trained in the RDS this afternoon ahead of Sunday’s Heineken Cup quarter-final against Clermont Auvergne at the Stade Chaban-Delmas.
